Brentford head coach Dean Smith didn't rubbish talk of a promotion push after the Bees made it three wins in a week with a 3-1 victory over Leeds.

The west Londoners are now just four points off the play-offs after a strong October and start of November.

And all eyes are on the gap to the top six sides but Smith is keeping his feet on the ground insisting it was one game at a time.

He said: “I have no idea, our aim is to try and get promoted but there's a long way to go and we'll just take it game by game.

“We're on a nine game unbeaten run at the moment and it's been hard work to do that. You never say never, but it's going to be hard work to do that.”

The fact the Bees are even looking at a promotion push is startling, given their poor start, results wise, to the season.

Brentford were, arguably, playing better in August and September but the results were not there. Now, though, the Bees are picking up the wins.

Smith added: “I've always had a great belief in what we do. I know sometimes, some people were looking at me as if I'd gone mad when I was saying how good our performances were and that we had to continue and believe in what we're doing.

“I felt that the results would come and we're a hard working team, we've got some quality in there and let's see where that takes us.

Anyone who has watched Brentford will know they haven't always had the rub of the green, with goalkeepers having impressive performances and strikers finding the net from 30 yards.
